Chapter 1246 Esdeath comes to pick me up in person
The navy was afraid that things would get more complicated if the night went on, so they took the initiative to propose transferring Ace to the navy headquarters. Sengoku felt more at ease knowing that the son of the Pirate King was imprisoned in Marinford rather than in Impel Down.
Magellan personally escorted Ace and did not allow anyone to approach him, whether it was the prisoners or his own people in the prison. Anyone who approached would be subject to the option of being killed.
He had finally found some time without diarrhea. Pushing the navy away at no cost could greatly reduce the pressure on the city.
After Ace left Impel Down, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Flying Pirates would not break into the prison. Most of the pirates would only go to Marinford to fight to the death. The defensive pressure on the prison was immediately reduced by half.
The two entered the elevator. Ace kept silent the whole time. Magellan also didn't want to have anything to do with the son of the Pirate King, which would cause any bad political impact.
Outside Impel Down, a navy admiral wearing a cloak of justice walked down from the warship. His curvy figure, set off by the navy uniform, was extremely seductive, and he was full of S attributes.
The prison's outer guards saw the prosperity of the female navy admiral outside the sky for the first time. Rabbit Hunting Admiral Esdeath was sent to this escort mission, which was an easy task for her.
If there really were some blind pirates who suddenly showed up to rob the prisoners, Esdeath would chop off his head with her own hands and take it back to her dormitory for collection. The loser's head was the best trophy.
As the elevator rose to the highest point, Ace followed Magellan's pace and stepped out of the prison, letting the long-lost fresh air enter his lungs.
His hands were bound in cold seastone handcuffs, which were like a tangible shackle that locked up his freedom and his hope.
Ace stared blankly at the night sky outside. The originally ordinary night scene now seemed as far away as a dream.
It had been a long time since he had looked at the night sky so quietly. It seemed that every time he looked up, all his strength would be exhausted.
The moon in the sky emitted a cool light, shining on his haggard face. He stared at it absent-mindedly, his thoughts having already drifted away.
Once upon a time, he, his father and his brothers drank and partied under the moon, with their laughter echoing in the night sky, but now all that has become a thing of the past.
He understood his situation. The days when he could see the moon were getting fewer and fewer. Every time he gazed at the moon, it was like he was bidding his final farewell to life. The bloodline of the Pirate King was a curse to Ace.
A gust of night wind blew by, and he couldn't help but shiver. The cold air stung his cheeks and stirred waves in his heart.
Ace numbly walked to the front of the female admiral. Magellan stood in front and received the documents handed over by the navy. After carefully checking them, he found no problems and signed his name at the end of the document.
Magellan handed the document respectfully to Esdeath and said, "She belongs to your navy now. Anything that happens after she leaves Impel Down has nothing to do with us in the Great Prison. Ace is an important pirate, please hand her over to Marinford safely."
Esdeath nodded in response to Magellan, then looked at the smaller man behind him. Compared to Magellan, Esdeath was quite thin and his mental state was very depressed.
If we don't distinguish between men and women in terms of strength, Esdeath is a head taller than Ace. Women are stronger than men. The aura emanating from the female admiral's body was not suppressed by Magellan in front of her.
Magellan gave the son of the Pirate King the proper respect he deserved. There was no pushing or shoving, and no verbal insults, during the escort. He was just performing his duties as a routine matter.
He stepped back and signaled Ace to come forward with his eyes. The son of the Pirate King would not make himself uncomfortable at this time and numbly walked forward to the female admiral.
Ace lowered his head, not interested in admiring Esdeath's plump figure. Before he was twenty years old, he was a passionate young man who had no interest in matters between men and women. All he had in his heart was brotherhood and father-son affection.
"Ace, you should be happy now. The navy hasn't witnessed it yet. Your good brother Luffy appeared in Marineford. You'd better pray that he doesn't do anything stupid," Esdeath touched Ace's most sensitive nerve.
The two softest places in the heart of the Pirate King's son are his father Whitebeard and his good brother Luffy. The two relationships run through his first and second half of life.
Ace's eyes were wide open with anger, and his already red eyes seemed to be spewing fire. The moment the admiral mentioned Luffy's name, it was like a sharp blade piercing his heart.
His hands were tightly bound by handcuffs and he struggled hard. The handcuffs made a harsh sound as they rubbed against his wrists, but this did not ease his inner anger.
The anger in his heart that was about to erupt like a volcano was held back by the restraint of reason. He knew that this was the opponent's provocation. If he acted impulsively, he would not only fall into the enemy's trap, but might also endanger Luffy.
Ace took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He clenched his teeth, his cheeks puffed up, and veins popped out on his forehead.
He stared straight at the general in front of him with a gaze full of vigilance and determination. Although his body was restrained, his momentum was not diminished at all.
Like a trapped beast, it is always ready to break free from its shackles at the right moment and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
Esdeath looked at the expression of the son of the Pirate King, and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Your expression now is delicious, I like your eyes very much, the son of the Pirate King still has some backbone."
After teasing the prisoner, Esdeath's face turned cold and she ordered her subordinates behind her to add Ace to the cabin and keep him under strict surveillance to prevent him from committing suicide.
Ace walked slowly forward with heavy steps, and the moment he passed by Esdeath, the female admiral opened her red lips, and her low but clear voice reached the prisoner's ears: "If Luffy comes to save you, I will send you and your brother to hell together, and I will not let you be lonely on the road to the Styx."
Admiral Rabbit's eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could freeze the air around them. Esdeath was not joking. If she met Luffy, she would definitely kill him.
Only because Kizaru and Aokiji met the grandson of the navy hero did Luffy have a chance of survival. If it were any other admiral, they would fight to the death and would not give Garp any face.
Ace's body paused slightly, and flames of anger instantly ignited in his eyes. He turned his head sharply to look at Esdeath. If looks could kill, Esdeath would have died hundreds of times.
"Did I ask you to see it? Hurry up and get on the boat," the marine behind Ace pushed him forward without any hesitation, telling him not to waste the marine's time.
Ace staggered forward and was nearly pushed down, but in the end he said nothing and followed the navy into the cabin where he was held. There was nothing inside except for a light to monitor him so that he would not commit suicide.
Magellan and Esdeath were not very familiar with each other, so without further conversation, the former returned to the elevator and went back to Impel Down to perform his duties, while the latter boarded the warship and ordered the departure.
Under the cover of night, the Gate of Justice slowly opened again, and the warship escorting Ace passed through the gate and returned to Marinford along this special route.
